Our Initial Plans for the Project

Written Component
In this blog, we will post a favourite image of mother with her daughter(s)chosen together. We encourage each participant to write an entry (emailed to us for editing and posting), to accompany the picture. We welcome any thoughts about the unique relationship between a mother and daughter, written collaborately or individually. The following suggestions may help get you started. If you prefer, we will arrange to have someone interview you.

• How are you not like your mother?
  
• How is your daughter’s life different than your life was at the same age?
  
• What do you hope for your mother/daughter?
  
• When you are not with your mother/daughter, what do you miss?
  
• What do you like most about mother/daughter?
  

Photography
At a mutually convenient time and location of your choice, we'll arrange a session to have mother and daughter(s) photographed.

For the photography session, we will aim to take some traditionally posed images, and some fun and unique ones. Once the images are edited, you will have access to them online.

This project is a work in progress and we expect that it will evolve and we are open to your suggestions.

NOTE: no full names will be used on the blog, and if you prefer to use only initials, that is fine too!

The idea begins

The idea for this mother and daughter project is in the early stages and I'm sure it will evolve. Noreen suggested the project to document the relationships of mother and daughters. Many interesting stories exist about the relationships between the interesting women we know and their daughters. Noreen's goal was to write about the relationships, and mine is to document through images.

The aim is to do the project in the new year (Spring 2008) and use this blog to post. Here we can mix the writing with the images, and the mothers and daughters can participate if they wish.

And so the idea begins!
